The Meat Up Grill

"Location: 3/5 Service: 4/5 Food: 5/5- Similar to shake shack but better. Got the lunch combo (cheeseburger w/ crinkled fries) for $11-12, amazing value. Food came in 5-10 minutes and was hot and fresh. Burger came in a soft brioche-like bun and well cooked patty (slightly pink in the middle- just perfect). Fries were crispy and hot. Everything seasoned well. Highly recommend. Cleanliness: 4/5 Would I return? Yes"

"Top notch service. Excellent food. I got the Mr. Crunch chicken sandwich and it was so juicy and amazing. Shared some chipwrecked fries which were equally as good. Had a slushy which was tasty and sampled the crack pb&j bar which was great for a nice little lunch dessert. Cannot stress enough how friendly the employees all were. This place is a 5 star gem!!"

"I stopped in on my work break to grab a quick bite. This place caught my attention. There’s a welcoming atmosphere when you walk in. Lots of space and pinball machines for 25 cents a game. The cooks are fast and the young lady at the counter was very personable. Here I ordered the Buffalo chicken sandwich with a side of small fries and a ginger ale. This came up to about $19 bucks. The cool part about the chicken sandwiches is that you have the option to make any one grilled or fried. I enjoyed my sandwich a lot. It was crispy and the Buffalo sauce was very rich. Bun was toasted perfectly. Pickles were fresh. Crinkle cut fries were perfect. I’d definitely come back again. Thanks guys!"

"First of all, this review is for the chef / owner I caught walking to his car and said “your food is awesome man”. So as a synopsis, this place is consistent, EVERY TIME . It’s apparent that each and every item they put out is full of themselves on a plate. Staff is ALWAYS friendly, They CARE. It’s fresh every single time . Homemade pickles, succulent coleslaw. Look at the burger , it’s perfectly constructed. The tsunami burger is my favorite , the combination of flavors between the coleslaw and the bbq sauce are unreal. But while I say that’s my favorite item , I have to tell you I’ve never had a bad meal from here. If you order delivery , your fries will still be crispy so that should tell you something. They’re a local business that appreciate every order and it’s refreshing. Definitely worth the ride if you’re visiting from Manhattan, lunch for a day…day on the boardwalk , lunch on the beach. Try the items on their additional menu as well! The codfish crunch is to die for, and their milkshakes should be award winning. Please visit and support this absolute local gem and share your experience just like I did! If you don’t believe most reviews, check out my others! Thank you meat up for bringing good quality food to the rockaways, and please don’t lose the charm and passion with your customers, because it makes you the amazing establishment that you are"
